He's certainly eccentric with a colourful past ,that's for sure:From the Independent in 1998LAST YEAR Vernon Coleman came out as a transvestite. He published a book, Men In Dresses, which he rather grandly promoted as a European Medical Journal Special Report, in which he described himself as "someone who has gained great relief from stress by crossdressing". In fact, the European Medical Journal is just another name for Vernon Coleman. It is one of his imprints, responsible for the medical books (the novels are published by Chilton Designs, and the porn by Blue Books). The survey which constituted the Special Report was actually carried out among readers of The People.....but then this is a man whose very fixed ideas about women are not noticeably informed by feminism. In People Watching (1995), women are not only warned away from big cars, but advised to "carry a small handbag to give an impression of helplessness. A large handbag will give the impression that you are totally independent and do not need to be protected by a male." In 1987 he said it was a "tragedy" that by the year 2000 half of all doctors qualifying from medical school would be women. "I think that is an appalling prospect... Women make wonderful nurses - they make rotten doctors."https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/doctor-on-the-make-1303622.html
